Karl Lagerfeld's decision to transform the Grand Palais in to a formal French garden with climbing roses on trelliage, pergolas and water fountains was a welcome site on these January days. There were layers of ruffled tulle and embellished chiffon in pastel hues, feathery capped sleeves and crystal veils and of course, the traditional Chanel tweed, all ushering in a return to the age of innocence and a feeling of spring in the air ...

PHOEBE PHILO IS LEAVING CÉLINE. The rumours broke out (for the hundredth time) on Tuesday morning, and the fashion industry reacted, for it is Philo who has single handedly returned the chic minimalism to fashion since taking the helm in 2008. Suddenly, women turned away from 'more is more' heavily embellished and colourful ensembles towards simple lines and a tonal colour palette, in clothes that quietly screamed "Power!" It was a revolution, previously unseen in fashion, arguably, since Calvin Klein.
According to colour theory, RED is an emotionally intense colour. The colour of fire and blood, it is often associated with power, strength, determination, energy and war. But it also associated with passion, desire and sexuality, love and joy.
THE MAGIC OF PARIS FASHION WEEK is as unfailing and ubiquitous as the legacy of the maisons that hold their shows there since the late 19th Century. Take Dior, now helmed by the first female creative director in the house's history — Maria Grazia Chiuri — and her feminist looks that storm down the runways. Or Saint Laurent, which under Anthony Vacarello continues catering to the cool nonchalant Parisienne. However, under the great fashion week shakeup, new faces are migrating from London and New York to the French fashion capital.
"I WANTED TO CAPTURE that happy, elated feeling of self-expression," said Emilia Wickstead backstage after her spring/summer show, staged at a London Art Deco location that few people knew about. The Harlem Renaissance was the inspiration, and while it could have been reflected with more diversity on the runway, it was certainly in evidence in the clothes. There were wide sunhats tied at the chin, calling to mind those worn in the fields, paired with demure silhouettes and dropped hemlines. There were plays on transparency, perhaps what a modern It girl would like to see more of, especially when paired with some 'mom' jeans and white t-strap heels. There was a pink drop-waisted dress with an alluring cut-out at the chest. And then, of course, the sequinned gowns in rose gold that seemed to be emitting light, drawing smiles on showgoers' faces. Who doesn't love some glamour, especially amidst all the turmoil happening in the world?
